Tarkov's new map uses AI art, angering players

forbes.com

Players of Escape From Tarkov are upset after discovering AI-generated art, parodying other games, in the new Iceberg map of the Arena mode. This has sparked criticism of the developers. The artwork, including parodies of Dark Souls and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, was confirmed as AI-generated by the game's PR team. Fans are expressing disappointment, with some calling the use of AI "lazy" and criticizing the decision to not commission human artists. The controversy follows the launch of patch 0.3.1 and a free weekend for Escape From Tarkov Arena. The game is offering a discount and Twitch Drops, but the AI art has overshadowed the new content for some players.
